I
I GUESS WE SHOULD PITY, THOSE IN THE WORLD.
WHO MUST USE THE EARTH FOR A BED.
I GUESS WE SHOULD PITY, THE MAN WHO MUST TOIL.
FROM DAWN TILL DUSK FOR HIS BREAD.
BUT THESE CAN BE RICH, IF THEY HAVE CONTENTMENT.
AND SHARING GOD'S SALVATION PLAN.
BUT IF YOU KNOW ANY, WHO THO THEY HAVE PLENTY
ARE LOST THEN PITY THAT MAN.
II
I GUESS THERE ARE THOSE, WHO PITY THE SAVED.
AS THO THEY'RE MISSING LIFE'S BEST.
FOR GETTING THAT TREASURES OF EARTH PASS AWAY
AND HEAVEN'S THE PLACE TO INVEST.
MEAN WHILE ASEEMING, THE MAN WHO IS SCHEMING
TO HOLD ALL THE WEALTH THAT HE CAN.
BUT IF HE'S NOT GIVING, TO GOD WHILE HE'S LIVING.
HIS SOUL THEN PITY THAT MAN.
CHORUS
PITY THE MAN WHO HAS TREASURES TO HOLD,
AND KNOWS NOT THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.
PITY THE MAN THO HE LIVE LONG ON EARTH
AND KNOWS NOT THE GIVER OF LIFE,
DOCTOR OR LAWYER, TRAVELER OR MERCHANT.
OR A BUILDER WHO BUILDS ON THE SAND
PAUPER OR KING, TO BE SAVED IS THE THING
IF HE'S LOST THEN PITY THAT MAN.
